Ontario sends most of its automobiles and parts to the U.S., Alberta’s exports are heavy on oil and gas, Quebec exports aerospace and specialty products, and British Columbia exports forestry and natural resources. Services show different patterns, so sector and provincial mixes change the U.S. share.

These economic conditions interact with savings, taxation, and labor market stability to determine household formation, size, and living standards.
